Board 8 > Holy crap you guys, the beta males have landed. [feminist] [girl gamer]

(+) Yeah! (+)

This feminist is looking to create five YouTube videos analyzing sexiest tropes against women in video games. She set up a Kickstarter to fund her project. Her five videos on YouTube project.

I agree with a lot of the things feminists have said -- more so, I'd imagine, than the majority of Board 8 -- but drawing attention in such idiotic ways is just going to add fuel for the fire. See also: this topic.

F***'s sake, a black woman didn't refuse to give up her seat to a white man on December 1, 1955 so that black women could tell white men to go f*** themselves for the rest of time. Conversely, this isn't going to accomplish anything but causing ire among men who have had enough of this s*** and have always respected women as equals, but refuse -- justifiably -- to treat them as superiors.

I can't wait for her videos to all be completely wrong because she hasn't played any of the games she talks about.

Well I assume she doesn't play video games.

I'm not even complaining about the girl, she can do what she wants; I don't care. I'm roffling at the men (no woman would donate to this, let's get real) who've pumped eighty thousand dollars in the Kickstarter.

It isn't hard for a smart woman to control most men, and a growing number of women are coming to realize this.

Legally women with children are virtually untouchable unless they do something horrendous, too.

To be fair she only wanted $6,000.

it seriously is, and stuff like this makes me bang my head into my keyboard because it's seriously dumb in how youtube videos are kickstarter material. if she made a goddamn game with ALL the women tropes i'd be kinda interested. not this crap.

in some way i have some respect for yokes for taking the whore jokes in stride and being chill about it instead of taking b8's wallets.
(it would happen. i mean half of the money would be from lurker BUT IT WOULD HAPPEN.)

she's spending the remaining 74,000, along with 5,000 of that, in considering melting it in gold to swim in a pool.

that or buying 4 ipads, i'm not sure. if she's what she's pretending to be, it'd be the former.

(it's really the latter.)

Well the kind of women who'd donate to this would have to A, know what kickstarter is, B, play games enough to care, and C, actually care about this situation enough to donate money.

Most gamer women, as far as I know, don't really care about this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe legally you have to spend 100% of the kickstarter money on the pledged project directly.

I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine she would have to spend the money on the project itself

At least I hope so
